"All Staff we had interaction with were very helpful and welcoming. Immaculately clean room. Great little kitchenette in the room. We didnt use the pool or facilities but they looked great."

"The hotel is a very convenient location to the terminal. Often international flights get in late like mine and I emailed the hotel in advance to let them know I was a late checkin and my room was ready and the team on hand were so friendly and helpful. The room felt fresh, the sheets were so soft. I honestly had the best sleep after my flight and didnt rush leaving because of late checkout."
